air hose from the side
compartment .
3. Screw the air hose’s valve connection to
the bottom of the thread on the tyre’s air
valve.
4. Connect the lead to the car’s 12 V
socket.
5. Release the safety catch and turn the
orange-coloured part to the vertical
position, until a click is heard.
6. Start the engine.The car must be in a
well-ventilated place.
7. Start the compressor by flicking the
switch to position I. There will be a
temporary pressure increase of max.
4 bar while the sealing fluid is pumped
in. After approx. 1 minute, the pressure
will drop and the gauge will indicate the
correct tyre pressure.
8. Pump the tyre to a pressure of between
1.8 bar and 3.5 bar. If the pressure does
not reach 1.8 bar after 10 minutes of
pumping, the compressor must be
turned off so it does not overheat.
9. Undo the air hose from the tyre’s air
valve and refit the dust cap. Unplug the
lead
from the 12 V electrical socket.
Fold the orange-coloured part back
into its original position and secure the
catch
. Keep the emergency repair kit
in a safe place in the car.
10.Immediately drive about 3 km, at a
maximum speed of 80 km/h, to allow
the sealing fluid to seal the tyre well.
Final check
1. Unscrew the dust cap and connect the air
hose to the tyre’s air valve. Connect
the lead to the 12 V socket. Read the
pressure on the compressor. If the tyre
pressure is below 1.3 bar, the tyre has not
been sufficiently well sealed. Under these
circumstances your journey should not be
continued. Contact a tyre centre.
2. If the tyre pressure is higher than
1.3 bar, the tyre must be inflated to the
pressure stated on the tyre pressure
label. Relieve pressure with the reduc-
tion valve
if the tyre pressure is too
high, see page 208.
3. Switch off the compressor, the
switch should be in position 0. De-

WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the com-
pressor is running. Be particularly observ-
ant of the tyre walls. If cracks, irregularities
or other damage appears, turn off the com-
pressor immediately. Under these circum-
stances your journey should not continue.
Contact an authorised tyre centre.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. The temporarily sealed tyre must be
changed as soon as possible (maximum
driving distance: 200 km).
NOTE
Do not raise the orange-coloured part (7)
when the compressor is only to be used for
inflation.
